Director Maya Da Rin will take part in a conversation with Film faculty member Danielle Lessovitz regarding Da Rin’s 2019 film The Fever for our next installment of the Visiting Filmmaker Series.

Please email filmmaking@mgsa.rutgers.edu for access to the Q&A.

A middle-aged native widower in Brazil, Justino lives his life according to set patterns. He puts in long shifts as a security guard in the Port of Manaus, then returns to the Amazon where he lives with his family. When his daughter says she wants to study in Brasilia, Justino’s regular life gradually becomes disrupted. His pain manifests itself in the form of a mysterious fever. The Fever is the fiction feature debut of Brazilian Maya Da-Rin, noted for her previous documentaries Margin (2007) and Lands (2009), both also shot in the Amazon.
